"My dad brought the fernted rice with stead buns you made."
"You've improved again."
"The fernted rice with stead buns, indeed. A while ago, using Tan Wei'an's words, I had another big realization," Qin Huai was not being modest at this mont, since Zheng Siyuan had already tasted it, any modesty would seem insincere.
"My fresh at mooncake has improved too. Next ti you co to Gusu, let know, and I'll have my dad bring so to you," Zheng Siyuan said.
"Really? That's great. I'm now using the fresh at mooncake crust for the fresh flower cake. I'll consult you on how to make the fresh at mooncake next ti I'm in Gusu; you're much more professional in that area than I am."
"Mm." Zheng Siyuan hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Qin Huai began to contemplate and simulate in his mind how to use the fresh at mooncake thod for making fresh flower cakes.
Is this thod feasible?
Of course, it is feasible.
Because Qin Huai never intended to make fresh at mooncakes or fresh flower cakes; he wanted to make Red Silk Cake. Who said Red Silk Cake couldn't be a combination of fresh at mooncakes and fresh flower cakes? However, fresh at mooncakes are slightly more challenging, especially in the pastry layers, which might require Qin Huai to challenge himself a bit.
Qin Huai felt that there wasn't much of a problem.
After nurous failed attempts during this period, Qin Huai had mastered the making of fresh flower cakes, turning Yunzhong Restaurant into an ocean of fresh flower cakes, where passersby would think the restaurant was actually a specialty shop for flower cakes.
Now Qin Huai just needed to turn the fresh flower cake specialty shop into a fresh at mooncake specialty shop.
Yes, Qin Huai needed to make fresh at mooncakes first.
That's how textbooks are; in order to integrate, one must grasp all the knowledge points from before the integration, complete all the related exercises. Without a solid foundation, recklessly tackling high-difficulty and supplentary questions will not end well.
After determining the new direction, Qin Huai started making fresh at mooncakes.
So, did Qin Huai's fresh at mooncakes taste good?
Of course, they were tasty. With Qin Huai's current foundational skills, whatever he makes tastes good, even if he rolls out a dough sheet and cooks it for custors to dip in sauce.
Then, how did Qin Huai's fresh at mooncakes compare to Zheng Siyuan's?
Yunzhong Restaurant's loyal diners, especially the uncles and aunts, certainly wanted to say, against their better judgnt, that Master Qin's craftsmanship was definitely better. But facts speak louder than rhetoric, and even Qin Huai's most loyal diners felt that Zheng Siyuan's fresh at mooncakes were superior.
Fresh at mooncake is Zheng Siyuan's signature pastry, his most skilled pastry, without a doubt. And for Qin Huai, fresh at mooncakes were actually a pastry he wasn't very proficient in.
Sure enough, Master Qin's fresh at mooncakes were delicious, but given the comparison, and the fact that Master Qin's fresh flower cakes were evidently tastier than fresh at mooncakes…
Everyone could only buy wildly, eat crazily, while feeling sowhat lancholic, distressed, confused, and puzzled.
Hey, what was going on with Master Qin? Why did he abandon the perfect fresh flower cakes and start making fresh at mooncakes instead? Weren't fresh flower cakes what Master Qin had painstakingly learned over several months and secluded himself for days to launch as his year-end new product?
Is the year-end new product only for a few days?
Or is the year-end new product actually the fresh at mooncake, with fresh flower cakes just passing through?
No, Master Qin, please don't abandon fresh flower cakes; fresh at mooncakes really aren't suitable for you!
Countless diners shouted in their hearts, but dared not speak, and could only silently eat the fresh at mooncakes.
The ordinary diners could taste the huge difference, and of course, Wang Gen Sheng could taste it too.
But Wang Gen Sheng didn't dare say it either; he was afraid to speak now; he didn't dare utter a word, and even when critiquing, he was very tactful.
Wang Gen Sheng couldn't understand why Qin Huai would think that fresh flower cakes were Red Silk Cake, and after making fresh flower cakes for a week, began to think fresh at mooncakes were Red Silk Cake.
But Wang Gen Sheng felt this wasn't Qin Huai's problem.
It must be his problem!
Bla his clumsy mouth for not being able to articulate, not knowing how Red Silk Cake was made, and yet wanting to eat Red Silk Cake, leading Master Qin astray.
Wang Gen Sheng particularly wanted to tell Qin Huai that this wasn't right, none of these were Red Silk Cake, but he couldn't articulate what Red Silk Cake was like.
Because… because…
After another week of making fresh at mooncakes, the conflicted Wang Gen Sheng finally couldn't hold back.
In fact, everyone noticed during this week that Wang Gen Sheng had a problem, including Ouyang.
Almost every day after Qin Huai finished work, Ouyang would run to Qin Huai's house and gossip, asking if Qin Huai thought Wang Gen Sheng secretly took out a payday loan, causing such ntal stress and guilty conscience.
Considering Wang Gen Sheng's personality, job, experience, assets, and age, Ouyang wondering if he secretly took out a payday loan was sothing Qin Huai could only admire for Ouyang's imagination, which was well-suited to writing novels.
Such creativity, even more imaginative than Tan Wei'an.
But no one asked Wang Gen Sheng why he felt guilty, because everyone knew clearly that given Uncle Wang's personality, it was obvious he couldn't hold it in for much longer.
Yet Wang Gen Sheng managed to hold it, enduring for an entire week.
When Qin Huai set down the freshly baked, delicious but not exceptionally delicious fresh at mooncakes on the small table, Wang Gen Sheng finally couldn't hold back.
He bowed his head, full of remorse, like a child who had done sothing wrong.
"Master... Master Qin, actually... I... I have sothing I want to tell you." Speaking, Wang Gen Sheng glanced at Ouyang and Shi Dadan on the small table.
